Energy projector: Difference between revisions

The beam was able to take down the shields of a Covenant [[Covenant Frigate|frigate]] or [[Covenant Destroyer|destroyer]] with a single hit.

The beam is similar to the [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System |Covenant sniper rifle]] in how and what it fires although on a much larger scale. It is also speculated that the beam can be focused to varying degrees. On Reach it burned a hole through many many meters of earth. However in space they can be focused to a smaller, therefore more powerful beam generally used to decimate enemy ships from afar. It also seems to drain all or most of the energy in a Covenant ship for a brief period unless the ship is massive enough to supply the power without too much of a drain. This weapons is also used for [[Glass|glassing]] UNSC worlds.

According to [[Fred-104]], only the "big ships have them." Ships of the {{Class|Reverence|Cruiser|}}, the [[Covenant Supercruiser]], and the [[Assualt Carrier]] were known to wield this weapon. Other large ship classes, such as the [[Covenant Supercarrier]], may have it as well.The CCS Class Cruiser has them too, as shown in the above picture.
